RE: [gentoo-dev] Weird system time issue

[Michael Mattsson]

I noticed the same issue after upgrading to KDE 3.02 on several of my
home machines.

I noticed that when I removed the Clock applet from the KDE panel, I
doied not have the issue anymore.  I havent had time to really dig into
the problem at the moment,  So I am not sure if the Clock applet is the
cause or just a symptom of a greater problem.



I opened a bug report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5118
And posted about the issue in the bugs forum:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=8432

I am experiencing similar problems with the system time. Sometimes, the
clock gets off by up to 18 minutes within a 24 hour period, but the
"offing" seems to either slow down or stop after a few days. I've (on
several occasions) found the system clock to be off by up to 35 minutes
after using the computer for several days, but it wouldn't get "more
off" after that. However, after fixing the clock by setting it to the
correct time, it would slowly drift again.

This is happening to me on a system using gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7 and
gcc-2.95.3-r7 with glibc-2.2.5-r5 (also happened with several previous
versions of glibc). I haven't attempted to switch to vanilla sources to
identify whether that would solve the problem, but I just thought I'd
let you know that you're not the only one experiencing the problem. I've
also heard some people on OPN #Gentoo complain about this as well.

Sincerely,
